QB HOUSE Creates Staff App with Commune for Work

Commune Co., Ltd., which provides “Commune for Work,” a communication transformation solution that unleashes the power of organizations, is pleased to announce that “Qpla,” a smartphone app that can be easily accessed by employees of QB Net Holdings Co., Ltd.’s group companies, has been built using コミューン for Work.

“QPLA” is a new communication tool that will enable the company’s employees to share information, learn, and strengthen connections, helping to create an environment in which each and every employee can work with peace of mind. It will be used as part of the company’s efforts to improve the working environment and engagement with the aim of managing human capital.

QB Net Holdings Co., Ltd. operates over 700 stores both in Japan and overseas, and the number of employees continues to grow to 3,000. The beauty and hairdressing industry is facing a serious labor shortage, where it is difficult to replace workers with machines or AI. For our company, “securing and retaining human resources” is the source of our corporate value and the key to organizational growth.

However, while the business expanded, each store had a small staff of only 3 to 4 people, making it difficult for employees to see what was going on at other stores or the company as a whole. This meant that employees were faced with the challenge of information gaps and feelings of isolation.

With traditional internal PR, readers would complain that they “don’t have time to look at it” and that it lacks timeliness, while the sender would also have issues such as “not knowing how many people are reading it,” “not knowing if the message is getting through,” and “not knowing what ‘workers’ are interested in or what it will resonate with,” and was concerned about the gap between the two sides.

In order to overcome this situation and achieve the medium-term management plan of rapidly opening new stores, it is essential to create an environment where employees can work with peace of mind. Therefore, we have introduced the employee communication app “Commune for Work” as a new internal platform that enables real-time information sharing.
